yeah, it works correctly from the youtube site for me, still can't get the embed to load and play? oh well.
Looks good, she has a lot of good stuff to work with. Good drive. The helpers were showing her that they were "it", not the sleeve without having to resort to stuff she's probably not ready for. That's good. Seems to have good griping behavior overall and decent clarity for just learning things.
I don't see any glaring issues, not that you were looking for critiques, but I just can't help myself
Not an issue now, probably won't be as she seems to have good forward focus, but I would watch the spinning. They happen after misses and seem to be a continuation of the "lunge", so I'm not concerned. BUT, going forward, just pay attention to it so it doesn't become something that happens because frustration is high and drive satisfaction is low
that can carry over into guarding behaviors especially with dogs with low threshold and not as strong of nerves.
Not saying that is your dog at all, i just know you're new so it's something to be watchful of and there are plenty of small things you can do so it doesn't become a learned behavior that you and your helper can talk about if it's something that needs to be addressed.
But just so we're clear, I do NOT think your dog is doing this because of any temperament issue or that it is an issue now. I've just seen enough of things like that that don't get paid attention to and they develop into a learned behavior. One guy i know had a great dog. One of the best i've ever worked or trialed. I'd say top 5 ever for me and he did this thing in training quickly with an ecollar and calling his dog out to send him back in then call him back and send him back. Well because of not so good training and not paying attention to the dog, the dog learned to do a spin behavior in the blind. By no means was this a weak dog but it definitely created an issue to work thru that we didn't need. I was a part of both parts of the training so I remember it well. I guess I learned to think things thru more because of it. So, just pay attention to see where this goes.
Overall, her behavior seems very solid with frontal and tight line stuff when a dog with temperament issues might spin. She's all forward, and that is good.
Again, this is just me, but I'd like to see a little bit more drive to the bite on runaways. She has it, but that's one part she looks just a tad unsure of what's next. Does that make sense? Easy fix that you can talk about with your helper so you're both on the same page.
On the last miss, when he starts to run away, you let her pull you forward. not as fast as he's moving at all, but some, so she feels like she can control it a little more with small wins. You add more control later.
and one last thing, great prey defense sequences with the helpers. That looks good and clear and I could see her getting stronger. Looks like something she's done before too? If not, she learned really fast
Ok, now one last thing and again, this is just me. I'd like to see better strong barking on a back tie before sending in free around a blind. I know a lot times in seminars things are moved a long a little more quickly in the name of "progress", but she's young. Make it all great and solid before moving on.
I don't like to send to a blind to bark, till I can step into, walk away etc and the dog keeps barking with intensity and they stay clean and are clear.
Again just me and something I like. There's a lot of ways to get to the end though.
But very nice. Keep at it
